I would love to hear from Grandparents who live far enough away from their children and grandchildren that they only see them a few times a year or less.
What kind of things do you do to keep a relationship going, esp. with Grandchildren?
Anyone with good suggestions or experience encouraged to reply!
My grandchildren are toddlers, and I live 600 miles away, seeing them about 3 times a year. I send them pictures I make on the computer, and videos of my husband and I reading or telling stories, but looking for other ways of interacting too. (Web cams are not an option at this time, nor is relocating closer.)

Get the best long distance plan you can. We live on the east coast of the US and both our families are in the western section of the country. My kids are closest with my parents who call every week to talk to them. Then they have a connection with DH's mom who writes sometimes and calls a few times. Then they have almost no connection with his dad who rarely does either.
